PARK TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, June 22, 2023) – A 33-year-old Holland man is in the Ottawa County Jail, awaiting arraignment on charges stemming from storming into a North Side residence and apparently threatening a resident inside.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Captain David VanderPloeg, the unidentified homeowner called 911 shortly after 4:30 AM on Thursday, saying that she had just escaped her residence in a subdivision near the junction of Lakewood Boulevard and 144th Avenue. She knew the assailant, as she had a Personal Protection Order in place against the man. The suspect was still inside of the residence when deputies arrived, and it took about nine hours of negotiation before he surrendered to authorities. Nobody involved in the matter was hurt, and it was not disclosed if the suspect was armed at the time.
In a department statement, VanderPloeg said, “At no time was there any danger to the general public, as this incident was isolated to this location.” An investigation continues.
